Hey Rudi:

Believe it or not, the deployment descriptor requires a special order for 
its attributes.  Your error message gives the order:

icon
display-name
description
distributable
context-param
servlet
servlet-mapping
session-config
mime-mapping
welcome-file-list
error-page
taglib
resource-ref
security-constraint
login-config
security-role
env-entry
ejb-ref

So...try putting your welcome file entries AFTER the servlet definitions.
